In 1720, four Van Alstyne men were counted among the freeholders of Rensselaerswyck. But none in the city of Albany.

By 1790, no Van Alstyne-named households remained in the city. However, five Van Alstyne homes were listed on the
Watervliet census.

Throughout the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, the descendants of Jan Martense constituted a significant presence - but mainly in the countryside south and east of Albany.
